Bounce TV, a network geared toward African-American viewers, has removed reruns of The Cosby Show from its lineup following Bill Cosby’s conviction on three counts of aggravated indecent sexual assault Thursday afternoon.

Deadline reports that the move to drop the classic 1980s sitcom was announced by the digital network in a statement Thursday.

“Effective immediately, Bounce is removing The Cosby Show from our schedule,” read the statement.

The network only began broadcasting reruns of the once omnipresent sitcom in 2016. Other broadcast stations and cable networks, including TV Land and BET Centric (now BET Her), began dropping the show in 2015, when the wave of sexual assault accusations against the disgraced comedian and pop-culture icon began cresting.
